Grand Opening of the Blog!

Yes, calling it a grand opening might sound silly, but I believe we should dedicate a day to the significant decisions we make in life, whether it is the decision to marry the love of our life or follow the One who has forgiven us of all our sins. So, welcome to my life, a life which has been deeply shaken by the truth that Christ loves me, when I truly do not deserve this love. I hope through reading, I'll not bore you but you'll be able to get a glimpse of my struggles, my joys, and I guess, my life. 

Warm Bubur Chacha
(Made from scratch under the instruction of Chef Dean from Sunrice Academy) 

Iced Bubur Chacha from Kopitiam (Plaza Singapura)

So you might be wondering why the url of this blog is icedbuburchacha.blogspot.com. Well, it was definitely not a hard decision to make the name of this dessert (bottom picture above) the name of this blog although there were some runner-ups, such as sunnyafternoon (unavailable), mintytealeaves, or milkandhoney (also unavailable). However, icedbuburchacha is the perfect name and here are the reasons why.

1. It's so colorful!

Iced bubur chacha is a popular local Singaporean dessert that is made with a base of finely shaved ice covered with yam cooked to the right tenderness , soft sweet potato, colorful jelly, and chewy tapioca cubes, and drenched in sweet coconut milk. Yum, writing this is making my mouth water. There is also another version that is warm and classified as a sweet soup (top picture above), which is perfect for cold, winter days, but that's never the case in a country with year-long summers, so I prefer the iced version. This dessert is a good reflection of how my blog will most likely be, a mixture of posts covering a wide spectrum of topics.

2. It's extra-chewy deliciousness!

For tapioca fans, you need to try these tapioca cubes! I find them chewier than the spherical ones since they have are bigger in size so you have more to chew on!

I think that's it for today but there'll undoubtably be more posts of food, especially desserts, and much more :)
